For the Shen Family, an unmarried Xia Chenyu was a valuable chess piece that they could use to form marriage alliances with other powerful prominent clans, securing benefits for the Shen Family.
Once Xia Chenyu was involved with a man, however, that chess piece would essentially become useless.
Therefore, as a member of the Shen Family, Shen Huanian absolutely did not wish to see Xia Chenyu and Fang Bai come together.
Nevertheless, Shen Huanian understood Xia Chenyu's character and knew that his threats were likely to have the opposite effect, provoking Xia Chenyu's defiance.
But at this point, it was all he could do, hoping to exert some pressure on Xia Chenyu.
Xia Chenyu once again clung to Fang Bai's arm, coquettishly saying, "Dear, is he threatening me? What should we do?"
Fang Bai responded with a cold smile, his gaze burning into Shen Huanian, "Easy, I'll help you beat him up!"
Shen Huanian was startled and hastily said, "Don't be reckless!"
